Could be acid, could be head hunger. Are you drinking your water/fluids? After you eat if you are trying to meet your Fluid levels you should feel at least somewhat full from trying to get in 64 ounces of fluids.

How much are you eat and when? Is it time to up your calories?

Are you on an acid reducer/PPI such as omeprazole or Protonix? Many times people deal with increased stomach acid after sleeve surgery, and it presents itself as hunger. If you are on an acid reducer, consider asking your doctor whether an increased dosage or switching to a different medication might be worth trying out.

If the issue is not head hunger, acid, or inadequate fluids, and you are genuinely hungry, maybe adding vegetables to your diet would be a good idea or trying different Proteins. It sounds like a talk with your nutrtionist wouldn't be a bad idea. I see you have had great success so far, so obviously you're doing something right!

Do you add vegetables and fruit? The fiber will help to make you feel full.
